Epilepsy, neuropsychological deficits, and EEG lateralization
(Elsevier, 1987)
One hundred eight epileptic patients (59 men, 49 women; 55% partial seizures, 45% generalized) were examined on 45 indices comprising a modified Halstead Neuropsychological Test Battery. Factor analyses identified five ...
Some perspectives on monoamine-opioid peptide interaction in rat central nervous system
(Elsevier, 1982)
Light microscopic immunocytochemistry was employed to investigate possible sites of interaction between the endogenous opioid peptides and monoamines in the rat central nervous system. The opioid and related peptides ...
Changes in medial cortical blood flow with a stimulus-response compatibility task
(Elsevier, 1994-02)
Previous work has suggested that human subjects engaged in tasks, like the Stroop task, that require response selection utilize the medical frontal cortex. We used positron emission tomography to measure blood flow changes ...
Anatomical relationship between opioid peptides and receptors in rhesus monkey brain
(Elsevier, 1984-12)
To determine whether opioid peptide-receptor pharmacological associations found in vitro (e.g., enkephalin-[delta], dynorphin-[kappa]) predict anatomical relationships in situ, immunocytochemical and receptor autoradiographic ...
Inhibition of opiate tolerance by non-competitive receptor antagonists
(Elsevier, 1994-01-07)
Our laboratory and others have previously reported that the non-competitive (NMDA) receptor antagonist, MK-801, interferes with the development of tolerance to the analgesic effects of morphine. The present studies were ...
A comparison of D1 receptor binding and mRNA in rat brain using receptor autoradiographic and in situ hybridization techniques
(Elsevier, 1992-02)
D1, a subtype of the dopamine receptors, is widely distributed in the nervous system and has been shown to be positively coupled to adenylate cyclase. Using a combination of in vitro receptor autoradiographic and in situ ...
Depression and neuropsychological test peformance in acute spinal cord injury patients: Lack of correlation
(Elsevier, 1990)
Factors which have been causally related to neuropsychological deficits in acute spinal cord injury (SCI) patients include advanced age, limited educational level, acute traumatic brain injury, alcohol and/or substance ...
Adrenal steroid type I and type II receptor binding: estimates of in vivo receptor number, occupancy, and activation with varying level of steroid
(Elsevier, 1990-04-23)
Adrenal steroid (AS) receptors differ from other steroid receptors in the inability of the activated form of the cytosolic receptor to exchange ligand in an in vitro binding assay. We extended this finding by demonstrating ...
Paradoxical effect of corticosteroids on pituitary ACTH/[beta]-endorphin release in stressed animals
(Elsevier, 1988)
We have previously demonstrated a number of changes in the anterior lobe proopiomelanocortin (POMC) system in chronically stressed rats. The purpose of the present experiments was to investigate whether chronically stressed ...
The effect of amphetamine on plasma cortisol in patients with endogenous and non-endogenous depression
(Elsevier, 1981)
Amphetamine sulphate (0.1 mg/kg, i.v.) produced no consistent change in plasma cortisol levels in 21 depressed patients. Seven patients with endogenous depression (melancholia) were matched with seven patients with ...
